But really, Congratulations Marty The best the game has ever seen, and an absolutely stellar career. I am honored to have been a Devils fan all these years and to have been able to see the greatest goalie ever, and to have shared that wonderful experience with my only son as well. This is just the first of many accolades that are coming to him, as we Devils fans begin to let go of him after all these years in our net. 20 years, it's crazy to even contemplate in these days of 'off to the highest bidder' hockey even while the owners still lock the players out every few years because of the salaries they can't help but hand out! But this is a great thing, and a real tribute to the love and respect for Marty among our younger and more "EA Sports' aware and adept younger fans, who really made this happen.

So as much as I am happy for Marty, I am also grateful to all you young guys and gals who bent over backwards to make all of this happen. Us old fogies know you young'uns made this happen for all of us, and we are all VERY grateful and thankful to all of you. You did us proud, and you did the franchise and the greatest goalie of all time proud as well

My beer is raised (literally) to all of you guys who made this happen From the bottom of my heart, thanks to you all!

Newslash, LD: this isn't a Vezina vote, this is an EA NHL Cover Vote. No one ever said it was about last year. It's as much about last year as it's about the overall performance and popularity. You vote for who you like. Turns out there are lots of Marty fans outisde the Devils fanbase.

He's like Grandpa Simpson. Generally speaking a nice guy, a little senile though, often blurts out random and irrelevant things. I just read his posts and go "Oh LD, he's off his rocker again!".

"I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. 'Give me 5 bees for a quarter', you'd say..."
